Feng Yu Jiu Tian Volume 15 Chapter 6.5

********************************************************

Standing on the side, Mian Ya once again spoke up. “Prince Yong Yi entrusted me with a letter to deliver to Lie Er, that’s why I asked Rong Hu for his whereabouts. However, Lie Er, who left Yue Zhong city before I did, has yet to meet up with Duke Ming.

Not even a shred of information about him can be found.”

Feng Ming suddenly felt anxious.

He finally understood why they had such ugly expressions on their faces.

With Lie Er’s capabilities, he would have long met up with them if his journey had gone smoothly. Even if something had delayed him on the way, he still would have found a method to send information to Mian Ya, the King, or the Xiao Family.

But they received no news of him. For him to disappear without a trace on his way to Han Ruo was an extremely serious matter.

Although Rong Hu felt a bit uneasy, he still used some comforting words after seeing Feng Ming’s pale complexion. “Duke Ming should not worry too much. Lie Er is intelligent. Even if he is in a crisis, with his abilities, he will surely return unscathed.”

Rong Tian issued a command. “Mian Ya, immediately mobile your men to search for information on Lie Er.”

He couldn’t help but scrunch his eyebrows slightly.

Within his circle of trusted aides, the one most flexible and adaptable to change was Lie Er. Successfully integrating himself in Yong Yin’s Imperial Palace for several years, he was simply the best at what he does.

Lie Er was most familiar with the lands of Yong Yin, furthermore, he had Prince Yong Yi as his backer. However, against all odds, Lie Er somehow disappeared from that place.

In Rong Tian’s mind, he was faintly aware that the situation was anything but reassuring, especially since it happened without any notice.

Trying to tolerate the exhaustion that was taking a toll on his body, Lie Er slowly opened his eyes.

Although he couldn’t immediately sit up, he could still carefully examine his surroundings by using his sharp eyes and observation skills he had developed over the years. He could tell that previously he was trapped in a moving carriage; most likely he had been captured.

His body felt dizzy, remnants from the swaying motions of the carriage, combined with his incapacitated state and blurry vision, he concluded that he had been drugged and had lost consciousness for some time.

As a result, he had no idea where he had been taken.

With difficulties, he managed to prop himself up. Hopefully, they would not deprive him of his consciousness again. He tried his best to analyze the room while he weakly tore off part of his cloth and draped it over the window leading outside. A weak wind could be felt blowing in through the window. The walls were decorated with colourful drawings depicting all kinds of flowers and plants.

The design was common in Yong Yin among the rich and powerful households.

Lie Er secretly felt relieved. The design meant he was still within the vicinity of Yong Yin and its boundary of influence.

He hoped that Yong Yi would be alerted of his capture as soon as possible.
